After dinner, the brothers went into the study, lit candles, and sat at the desk, while Xu Erlang recited and Xu Qian listened.

The late emperor was a mediocre emperor, who rose to heaven without meritorious deeds. His personality was also quite gentle, he was a little addicted to women, and he was a little lazy in politics. It was precisely because of this that two chief ministers were given power in succession.

Now that I think about it, Emperor Yuan Jing was very powerful and good at checks and balances, and he probably learned the lessons of the late emperor.

The boring listening continued, and time passed by. Suddenly, a conversation cheered up the sleepy Xu Qian.

The late emperor: The Taoist priest has profound cultivation and is a divine figure. Can he master the art of transforming the three pure states in one breath?

The Taoist leader of Renzong: When it comes to the art of converting three pure states into one qi, among the three sects, the Earth sect is the most powerful.

The late emperor: I heard that the Earth Sect cultivates merits and walks in the mortal world, and the dragon sees its head but not its tail. I wonder if the chief can introduce him?

The leader of the human sect: Yes!

"The late emperor was very curious about how one qi could transform the three pure beings... Well, the Taoist leader of the Earth Sect during the late emperor's time should be the Taoist leader of the Earth Sect who became possessed by demons...

"

Xu Qian was thinking about it when suddenly his body trembled and his expression became frozen.

In the massacre in Chuzhou, the clone of the Di Zong Taoist was involved. Emperor Yuan Jing and the Di Zong Taoist colluded. I had never understood how Yuan Jing and the Di Zong Taoist colluded.

It turns out that the Taoist leader of the Earth Sect had been to the capital before... He must have had contact with the late emperor and Emperor Yuan Jing during his princely period...

Sure enough, it was correct to search for the daily records of the late emperor's period. There was no problem with these details, and they were even just trivial matters. But it was precisely because of these trivial traces that a series of causal relationships were connected.

Xu Qian braced himself and listened carefully. To his disappointment, there was no information about the meeting between the late emperor and the Taoist leader of the Earth Sect in the daily records.

Either he was erased or he was not in the palace, so Qi Julang was not with the emperor.

The candle gradually burned out, and Xu Erlang breathed out: "I haven't had time to see what's behind."

Xu Qian immediately left the study and returned to his room.

............

early morning.

Wang Simu sat in front of the dressing table. With the help of the maid, she combed her hair in the most popular bun, drew her eyebrows, applied lipstick, spread a light layer of pearl-ground makeup powder on her face, and then applied a little

blush.

It has a bit of a heavy make-up feel, delicate and not glamorous.

She put on a Dutch-colored palace dress, which exuded dignity and elegance. The expensive fabrics and complicated styles added a bit of nobility.

This outfit was carefully thought out.

As we all know, the mistress of the Xu family is a woman with unfathomable thoughts and extremely superb methods. She will be her number one enemy in the future.

Therefore, if she relied on her status as the first daughter-in-law to flaunt her power and show off her power, it would be easy for the other party to catch her and accuse her of Wang Simu's lack of tutoring.

Therefore, we should be low-key and restrained and follow the golden mean.

"I'm really looking forward to it..."

She is the legitimate daughter of the Wang family. When she was young, she saw her mother and her favored concubine fighting overtly and covertly. She also saw those concubines who did not know the heights of the world trying to compete with her and take away her position as the legitimate daughter.

But by the time I was a girl, these tainted characters had all become a thing of the past.

Miss Wang's status in the palace is like sitting alone on the top of a mountain, playing the piano alone.

She had no rivals at home, so she "played" with the wealthy ladies outside. She had conquered the daughters of nobles and suppressed the princesses of the clan. Among the female relatives of high-ranking officials in the capital, she could make Miss Wang feel inferior, and she was the person she feared from the bottom of her heart.

There was only one emperor, Huaiqing, the eldest daughter.

But later, she discovered that the small Xu Mansion hid a woman who should not be underestimated, and this woman might be her future mother-in-law.

The day before yesterday, after receiving the invitation from the eldest lady of the Xu family, Wang Simu knew that the mistress of the Xu family planned to meet him formally.

This is a good thing and a bad thing.

Fortunately, the mistress of the Xu family finally recognized her and thought she was a satisfactory daughter-in-law.

The bad thing is that this invitation may be full of murderous intent and startling every step of the way. If she doesn't handle it well and is at a disadvantage, she may be suppressed in the future.

But, that’s why it’s interesting.

Miss Wang is an aggressive woman, and she is full of intelligence and wisdom. It will be too boring if her future mother-in-law is a mediocre person.

Miss Xu family appears to be weak but is actually very scheming.

Xu Erlang, who is talented and has a brilliant tongue.

And Xu Dalang, who made all the nobles and nobles in the dynasty fear him, and made even your majesty hate him.

To be able to teach such a young person, the mistress of the Xu family is really an opponent that makes people shudder just thinking about it.

"But it is precisely because of this that it is worth looking forward to."

Wang Simu, accompanied by her maids and attendants, entered the carriage majestically, just like a female general leading an army on an expedition.

............

Xu Qi'an was sitting in the living room, eating soy pork elbow. Lina and Xu Lingyin came over to eat.

The aunt is instructing the servants at home to sweep the courtyard and sweep away the cobwebs...

"Get it all cleaned up. I am the daughter of the Chief Assistant. I have a noble status. I cannot lose my etiquette and cannot be looked down upon. Xu Ningyan, Xu Lingyin!!"

The aunt turned around and saw that her nephew and her daughter were eating the food she bought in the restaurant. She was furious:

"Are you two going to piss me off to death? You, Xu Ningyan, have been doing nothing all day long, and you haven't found a girl yet. Are you jealous that Erlang got there before you?"

Auntie, you have misunderstood. I will take you to my fish pond for boating another day. It is full of ferocious sharks and crocodiles...

The aunt drove her nephew and daughter out of the hall and continued to lead people to work.
